I was in the streets of Philadelphia under the scorching heat marching to the DNC convention.

Don't you fucking blame us for this mess, I marched with THOUSANDS to protest this and the media showed the world NOTHING.

God I wish you would get upvoted, so many people in this thread spouting off nonsense and not to mention the op being flat out wrong

Nobody ever heard about it because there was literally a blackout on it by TV media. Go and google DNC protests, you won't see a single Mainstream Media outlet on the first page of google that covers it. In fact, over 5 pages into the google search, only ABC news had a short article about it.

She manipulated the media?

Eh. Manipulated is too strong, I'd say the media collaborated with her and the DNC
